CO2 produced from burning fossil fuels or burning forests has quite
a different isotopic composition from CO2 in the atmosphere.
But planetary bodies that formed in different parts of the solar system generally have
different isotopic compositions, so different that the isotopic signatures serve as «fingerprints» for planets and meteorites from the same body.
Therefore, animals that feed on tropical open - environment grasses (or on grass - eating animals) have
different isotopic compositions from those feeding on browse, seeds, or fruit from shrubs or trees.
Not exact matches
The researchers brought together 90 fossils discovered in South Africa, Lesotho, Morocco and China, 63 of which were therapsids belonging to 22
different species, in order to study their oxygen
isotopic composition.
This process is a function of the temperature, so in looking at the
isotopic composition in the
different dated layers of the ice, scientists can study the temperature of the past.
The UniChem connectivity search function allows users to find not only exact matches of their chemical structure across 60 million related molecules from 21 data sources worldwide, but also identifies «equivalent» structures that have the same atom connectivity while differing in stereochemistry or
isotopic composition, or which exist in a
different salt form.
Consider the facts: the climate system is indicated to have left the natural cycle path; multiple lines of evidence and studies from
different fields all point to the human fingerprint on current climate change; the convergence of these evidence lines include ice mass loss, pattern changes, ocean acidification, plant and species migration,
isotopic signature of CO2, changes in atmospheric
composition, and many others.
